### Resources
[LoTS Wiki](http://www.zoywiki.com/index.php/LotS)
[Fair Share/Optimal Damage Spreadsheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoPyAHGDsRjhdGYzalZZdTBpYk1DS1M3TjVvYWRwcGc)
Fair share is how much damage to do to a raid to pull your weight. Optimal or target damage is how much to get the most epic loot items per stam or honor.
### On Alliance Raids
You join an alliance to get access to alliance raids, which is where you spend your honor. The first level of alliance raids are Gremlin raids. Like Void Killers and Telemachuses on the stamina side, the lowest level of raids are useful for high-level players for [stat farming.](http://www.legacyofathousandsuns.com/forum/showthread.php?2464) A normal Krakak Swarm is better farming than a nightmare Telemachus. Normal Krakak Swarms should be constantly available for high-level players. If the Krakak Swarm is full or otherwise unavailable, a normal Infected Squad is still better farming than an NM Tele.
If you are a low-level player who needs to build your Gremlin, request an Infected or Saucers raid.
**Gremlin**
Small: Krakak Swarm, Medium: Infected Squad, Large: Flying Saucers
With stamina raids, you can jump right in to a high-level raid, and hope to get good loot. You can do this in alliance raids for some things too, but there is a main sequence to follow in alliance raids. To get the Legacy Armor you have to start at the bottom level and work your way up.
Small/Medium/Large/Epic raids all drop the same thing within a tier, except for Legacy. For instance, you can get the entire Archimedes set off Tourniquet 7 raids, you don’t necessarily need Kang or Flora. When you get to the Legacy tier you will need to check the wiki to request the right raid.
Raids labeled “small” only allow ten people in to play. It is very important that you only join a small raid if you can do a tenth of its HP bar in damage, and do it quickly. Failing to do your fair share is called “tagging”, and if you keep it up you will be kicked from the alliance.
**Archimedes**
Small: Kang, Medium: Ruoymes’ Death Flora, Large: Tourniquet 7
**Archimedes Mark II**
Small: Crossbones, Medium: Mr. Justice, Large: Rylattu Exterminator, Epic: Lurking Horror
**Archimedes Mark III**
Small: Colonel Mustard, Medium: Grislak, Large: Peacemaker 500, Epic: Ship of the Damned
**Archimedes Mark IV**
Small: Professor Squid, Medium: Qin Legion, Large: Kaltharan Devourer, Epic: Mecha-Wyrm
**Terminator**
Small: Terminus Death Squad, Medium: Terminus Interceptor Squadron, Large: Terminus Juggernaut, Epic: Genesis
**Legacy**
Medium: Luna, Medium: Trashmaster Colby, Large: Legacy Bot, Epic: Shadows of the Void
### On Tactics
The best tactics are the [EdC chain.](http://www.legacyofathousandsuns.com/forum/showthread.php?1589) That’s Esprit de Corps, Suppressive Fire, Flank Attack, and Preparation. If you don’t have these tactics you should do everything you can to get them, probably in the order below.
[Suppressive Fire](http://www.zoywiki.com/index.php/LotS/Suppressive_Fire) you can buy in the shop once you complete Zone 1.
[Flank Attack](http://www.zoywiki.com/index.php/LotS/Flank_Attack) is an epic drop off the stamina raid CC Cruiser (any difficulty).
[Preparation](http://www.zoywiki.com/index.php/LotS/Preparation) is an epic drop off the alliance raid Peacemaker 500 (nightmare difficulty only).
[Esprit de Corps](http://www.zoywiki.com/index.php/LotS/Esprit_de_Corps) is an epic drop off the stamina raids Vulture Gunship or Commander Veck (any difficulty).
Many useful and wonderful tactics, such as Better to Receive, are only available through expeditions, meaning you spend Golden Suns and try to get lucky. Those tactics are great if we have them, but you can’t expect them.
New people are welcome in this alliance, so Pursuit of Excellence will be looked upon with mercy, though the EdC chain is more important than PoE. All other tactics will be exterminated ruthlessly, unless there is a very good reason not to do so. Please don’t place tactics unless you know what they do.
You cannot share stamina raid links in alliance chat because they are too long. Go to a link shortener like [tinyurl.com](http://tinyurl.com) or [bit.ly](http://bit.ly) to share stam raids. Or just post them here, surprisingly few people use Kong forums to share or look for raid links.
And use this thread or alliance chat to ask your questions. Remember: there are no stupid questions, only stupid tactics.

We’re out of the charter stage! We’re for realzies! :D
Everybody who signed the charter comes in at rank Soldier automatically, and I’ve given soldiers the rights to approve/deny application, summon enemies, and remove tactics. That should get the alliance moving, I think.

I just saw Greg lurking in room 2.
This maybe — just possibly — means this game will be getting badges and frontpage splash, which means a lot of new players and badge hunters. Every alliance is going to need an active core, especially ones like this one that accept players of all levels.
So I’m looking to turn members into soldiers and soldiers into officers. Have people noticed how active you are in the alliance? Have we spoken in the alliance chatzy? Are you in an under-served time zone? We need people at different longitudes.
If you think you should be promoted, contact me _privately_. Send me a [private message](http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/sevenscream/private_messages?focus=true) through Kong or on my LoTS profile. Make sure you’ve read and understood everything in this post, and that we have basically similar ideas of how things should work.

I had no idea you had to pay to have more than ten people in a Chatzy at once. Here I thought people were getting banned for bad behavior. XD
So now we’re on IRC! There’s a quicklink in the alliance announcement for a webclient to our new chatroom.

We do legendary Wahsh!
Also, I notice that info about tagging is not added yet.
New players may just go into raids for some common/uncommon drop loot. I know this is what happened when I went in and clogged up a Death Squad raid… along with three or four others. .\_.
Putting the info up would prevent some of this from happening, as newbies still don’t realize dealing FS is essential to getting anything worthwhile crafting-wise.
